## Project history and usage

Worktrunk is a Git worktree management CLI aimed at developers running parallel AI-agent workflows. Its README frames the tool around making Git worktrees feel as easy as branches, with core commands for switching, creating, listing, and removing worktrees.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created on 2025-10-17, and the earliest release returned by the GitHub releases API is v0.8.4, published on 2026-01-02. By July 2026 the repository README described Worktrunk as released at the start of the year and focused on reducing friction for parallel agent work.

The project evolved quickly in public during 2026. GitHub release data shows v0.65.0 published on 2026-07-02, and the repository metadata at that time showed about 5.7k stars and 198 forks, suggesting fast uptake for a new developer workflow tool.

### How it is used

Worktrunk wraps Git's native worktree feature with shorter commands and path conventions. The README compares plain Git sequences such as adding a worktree, changing directories, and deleting the worktree/branch pair with Worktrunk commands such as wt switch, wt switch -c, wt remove, and wt list.

Its specific package-nerd niche is AI-agent concurrency: each agent can work in its own worktree so long-running tasks do not collide in a single checkout. Hooks and project configuration are used to automate local setup and validation around those worktrees.

### Why package nerds care

Worktrunk is a snapshot of the 2025-2026 shift from single-session developer tooling to parallel agent orchestration. It does not replace Git worktrees; it packages the missing ergonomics around a native Git primitive that became newly important once developers started running several coding agents at once.

### Timeline

- 2025-10-17: GitHub repository is created.
- 2026-01-02: Earliest listed GitHub release, v0.8.4, is published.
- July 2026: README describes Worktrunk as released at the start of 2026 and focused on parallel AI-agent worktrees.
- 2026-07-02: GitHub releases API reports v0.65.0 as the latest release.

### Related projects
